Arriving, Dropping Off and Using the Hospital Entrance

Parking Controls on Streets Around the Hospital
Freeman Hospital sits on Freeman Road in Newcastle upon Tyne, and residential streets near the site should not be treated as overflow hospital parking. The hospital’s own spaces are limited, so parking on a nearby street can obstruct residents and access routes when appointments are busy.
Use a marked hospital bay or a booked private space rather than leaving a vehicle across a junction, entrance or access point. A Blue Badge gives free parking in the hospital’s accessible bays, but it does not turn an unsuitable residential location into a legal parking place. The hospital’s published parking contact is 0191 223 1353 for queries about the site’s car parks (newcastle-hospitals.nhs.uk).
